Summary

Barcelona stretched their lead to 11 points after a 2-0 win over Getafe, with Marcus Rashford on the scoresheet again, but the joy was tempered by Lamine Yamal's season-ending hamstring injury. Real Madrid's title hopes were effectively ended on Friday night as Héctor Bellerín's 94th-minute equaliser for Real Betis snatched a 1-1 draw, leaving them 11 points behind Barcelona with just 15 left to play. Gary and Alex ask if losing the title this weekend would actually be kinder than watching it be confirmed by a defeat in El Clásico.
